Frequently Asked Questions

Throughout my work on Grain Brain and Brain Maker, I’ve received a lot of questions on subjects like low-carb diets, gluten-free diets, and eating to prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s. Some of these questions have appeared countless times, so I’m pulling together the answers here in this FAQ section of my website. This should cover some basic questions on gluten, exercise, supplements, and more, and prove a useful tool for you to direct friends and family members to when they have questions of their own.

We’ll keep this section up-to-date as we start to see more common questions come in.
